The proposal provides for significant government incentives, including a R$ 2 billion contribution to the Mineral Activity Guarantee Fund (FGAM) and up to R$ 5 billion in federal tax credits for the beneficiation and transformation of critical and strategic minerals in Brazil. The measures are intended to support projects that expand domestic processing capacity and strengthen supply chains for minerals considered relevant to the energy transition, advanced technologies and national security.
